Scenes from the Heritage in Sharjah, where people show off their rich traditional
customs and culture are followed by a camera ride between the cities of Sharjah and Dubai. It provides a view of a gigantic field of skyscrapers under construction. Mounted on the fences lining
the construction site are construction plans which move past the observer. On the lake in front of the largest building in the world, the Burji Khalifa, workers from boats try to clean the bottom
of an artificial lake from the sand of the desert. The video shows the traditional old world in its connection with projects that point toward the future. Nowhere else in the world in this
millennium have there been as many huge construction projects planned and carried out as in Dubai. With huge projects such as the tallest tower in the world, artificial palm islands, an
underwater hotel and an indoor ski slope in the middle of the desert, the emirate wants to secure a prosperous future, "after oil".
